as列举几项内容，往往列举不全。答案：D3At the meeting，the old man_some good advice and all the people there agreed with him.Acame about Bcame upCcame out Dcame up with解析：come up with是及物动词短语，“提出”而come up是不及物动词短语，主语是被提出的观点、主意等。come out出版，开花；come about发生。句意为：在会上，那位老人提出了一些好的建议，那里所有人都同意。答案：D4Every minute must be made full use of_spoken English.Ato practise BpractisingCpractise Dpractised解析：本题中make full use of的宾语为every minute，其宾语前置，故用动词不定式短语充当目的状语。答案：A5A lot of questions_at the meeting，which made things worse.Acame across Bcame onCcame up Dcame in解析：句意为：在会议上又提出了许多新问题，这使得事情更加复杂了。come

present为固定短语，意为“现在；目前”。答案：A8The number of foreign students attending Chinese universities_rising steadily since 1990.Ais BareChas been Dhave been解析：考查主谓一致和时态。主语是以the number of开头的，故谓语动词用单数，又因时间状语是since 1990，所以用完成时态。答案：C9Allow children the space to voice their opinions，_they are different from your own.Auntil Beven ifCunless Das though解析：句意为“让孩子们有发言的空间，即使他们的观点与你自己的不同”。even if是“即使，尽管”的意思；as though意为“似乎，好像”；until表示“直到，在以前”；unless意思是“除非”。答案：B10As is known to us，the film Titanic_a true story.Abased on Bbase onCwas based on Dhad based on解析：考查短语base.on。句意为：众所周知，电影泰坦尼克号是以一个真实的故事为根据的。base.on以为根据，其被动形式是be based on，故选C项。答案：C11Will you be able to get a taxi to the theatre?_，sir.ANo necessary BNo problemCThatll be fine DIm glad解析：句意为：你能打的去剧院吗？没问题，先生。No problem没问题，用来加强语气，符合句意，其他A、C、D三项均不符合句意。答案：B12He couldnt take part in the final exam_his serious illness.Abecause Blead toCbecause of Dwhen解析：考查连词和短语的用法。句意为：由于他病得很厉害，他不能参加期末考试。because因为，引导原因状语从句；lead to导致；because of由于后接名词或动名词以及what引导的句子；when当的时候，引导时间状语从句。结合句意及句子结构应选C项。答案：C13(2010荆州高一检测)Ellen is_in both English and French，which gives

than与名词和形容词连用时，表示“多过，不止”；no more than仅仅；no less than不少于，多达。由句意可知选C项。答案：C15Though we have two choices，I think the_is better.Alater BlatterClate Dlatest解析：latter(两者中的)后者。句意为：虽然我们有两个选择，但我认为后者较好。later后来，较晚的；late迟到的；latest最近的。答案：B.完形填空Throughout history，people have been interested in knowing how language first began，but no one knows exactly where

English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language.We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things.Here are some examples.A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK.Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US.In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat.Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.One very obvious (明显的) difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on.Petrol in the UK is gas in the US.The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，its a gas station.The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house.In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.I could continue with this.There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language.With so many differences，no wonder its hard to understand each other well.语篇解读本文论述了美国英语和英国英语在词汇方面的差别 1The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in_.Avocabulary BgrammarCsound
